Winter 2015 Town Tattler Christyn #4047377 SRP: $50.00 Dear Club Membears, The holidays are right around the corner, and while we all have slightly different traditions and ways of celebrating the season, it s probably safe to say that most of us share in the anticipation. A part of us remains childlike when seeing all the decorations up, hearing the carols, and tasting the sweets that seem to be offered around every turn. Of course, there is something extra special about seeing this time of year through the eyes of a child whether it s your own kids, grandchildren, or even the little ones you see wide-eyed at the mall. This year I will spend my first Christmas as a dad, and I can t wait to see the twinkling lights reflecting in little Grant s eyes. While he might be too young to be fully aware of what s going on, we are starting the traditions that will stay with him for a lifetime, and that is pretty exciting! I m so happy that our Cherished Teddies figurines are part of those very traditions for so many of you. In this issue you ll see many pieces that will help you ring in the season and keep warmth and joy in your hearts throughout these chilly months ahead. But most of all, I hope that your greatest gifts this winter are the opportunities you have to spend time with those most important to you. Recently I was able to meet with you at our annual Retailer Events, and I couldn t have thought of a better way to kick off the season. With these happy memories in mind, I wish you all a happy and safe holiday! Snow-ones Hugs Are Better Than Yours Brandt #4049733 SRP: $35.00 Gather Winter Friends Bear Hugs, Glenn Hillman Page 2
